Thanksgiving Leftovers: Pizza with Turkey and Roasted Cranberries

With large Holiday cooking often comes leftovers. Here is a quick easy and delicious pizza to make with turkey. Of course if you don’t have turkey leftovers you can substitute chicken in this recipe. Decisions on what to make with all the leftover turkey brings for some interesting dishes. Instead of a soup, casserole or sandwich I opted to make a pizza.

I love pizza.

Making it.

Eating it.

It’s all good.

Roasted cranberries give this pizza a wonderful savory taste that compliments the turkey along with mushrooms and pesto.

Cornmeal in shaker makes it easy to shake on pizza pan so the dough won’t stick.

I just LOVED the sweet and tangy cranberries with the turkey and mushrooms.
